That doesn't explain the products that are entirely missing - diet rootbeer, caffiene free diet cola, diet orange, etc. They aren't there even at the higher price.

I've heard that drinking diet drinks makes you fat.

That explains a lot. And I mean a LOT (of me)!

Apparently, Ma was telling me, when you eat artificial sweetener, the body still has the exact same response: convert it to energy/fat. It doesn't discriminate between real sugars and artificial substitutes. Because it is its sweetness that triggers the response.

I read something like that too.
Can't win, can't win. I may as well go back to my steady diet of Miller Lite. |

Perhaps the price differential wasn't enough so sales suffered and the benefit to the store was reduced. They get a much better return on their shelf space selling the name brand products. (just a guess)

Many top brands of all those items contain high-fructose corn syrup. Check out the labels sometime.

And let's not forget that artificial sweeteners are known carcinogens.
Just avoid them people. It's simple.
